Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu Celebrate Emotional Wedding

Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are officially married, marking a significant moment in both their personal lives and the entertainment industry. The couple exchanged vows on December 1, 2025, at the Linga Bhairavi Temple, part of the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The intimate ceremony was attended by approximately 30 to 35 close family members and friends, reflecting their preference for privacy on this special day.

The wedding has garnered considerable attention, particularly for the heartfelt welcome Samantha received from her new family. Sheetal Nidimoru, Raj’s sister, took to social media to share a touching message that resonated deeply with fans and followers. In her Instagram post, she described the significance of the day, expressing feelings of spiritual alignment and gratitude as she embraced Samantha into the Nidimoru family.

Samantha’s emotional welcome
Sheetal described a moment of profound connection during the ceremony, stating, “While praying to Shiva in the Chandrakund today… soaked, shivering, during the pradoṣha time, I found myself embracing the Shivalingam with a heart full of tears.” She emphasized that these were not tears of sorrow, but rather “tears of gratitude” for the peace and clarity surrounding their family.

She expressed pride in the couple’s journey, saying, “As a family, we feel so proud of how they are walking forward… with calm dignity, honesty, and a steadiness that only comes when two hearts choose the same path with intention.” She concluded her message with a heartfelt wish for everyone to find love that feels as peaceful and steady as theirs.

Samantha responded to Sheetal’s affectionate words with a loving comment, expressing her gratitude and warmth, “Love you.”

A sacred ceremony
The wedding ceremony followed the Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ritual, a spiritual process connected to the teachings of Sadhguru, which both Samantha and Raj have long cherished. Samantha looked striking in a traditional red silk saree adorned with golden embellishments, complemented by heavy gold jewellery and floral decorations. Raj opted for a classic white kurta-pajama ensemble, paired with a cream Nehru jacket.

Sharing glimpses of their nuptials on Instagram, Samantha simply captioned the images with the date, “01.12.2025,” allowing the moments to speak for themselves.

The couple’s journey to this point has been closely followed by fans. They first met during the filming of The Family Man 2, where Samantha’s performance received critical acclaim. They later reunited for the project Citadel: Honey Bunny, further fueling speculation about their relationship.

Both Samantha and Raj have previous marriages; Samantha was married to Naga Chaitanya from 2017 to 2021, while Raj was previously married to Shhyamali De, with reports of their separation surfacing in 2022.

This wedding marks a new beginning for both individuals, celebrated not just by their families but by a wide audience who have followed their journey. As they step into this new chapter together, the emotional support from their families, particularly the warm welcome from the Nidimoru family, underscores the significance of love and unity in their lives.
